I have most of the writings of Joseph Smith. I'm going to hunt up what was
said.

This is probably one of the most poorly reported prophecies of Joseph
Smith. We need to remember that the Prophet gave this statement before
the days of any reasonably accurate recording device, including
shorthand. As a result, the basic facts may vary widely.

The basis of the prophecy, however, is pretty plain. We are in for
very hard times, and our basic liberties will be under increasingly
greater attack.
